Benefits of technology
The present invention is a new triceps extensions training device that offers several benefits over existing devices. It has a custom pistol grip with an aesthetically pleasing appearance and does not cause discomfort or excessive pressure on the user's hands. The device's ultra thin, flexible cable suspension provides optimal exercise freedom of movement and superior triceps, forearm, wrist, and hand stabilizer muscle conditioning effects. It can also be quickly and easily disinfected. Additionally, the present invention offers the option of single or double handle configurations and a hand protection projection that reduces torquing pressure on the hand when the hand is pushed below the user's waist.
Problems solved by technology
A drawback associated with triceps ropes in regards to aesthetics is that they have a dated appearance which has remained virtually unchanged for decades.
In terms of function, triceps ropes can become slippery with sweat and it can be difficult to maintain a grip during use.
Furthermore, triceps ropes fail to capitalize on the potential of the extension exercise due to the inflexibility of a 1.5″ thick rope construction which hinders skeletal joint mobility and optimal stabilizer muscles training benefits from being fully realized.
As for comfort or lack thereof, the somewhat abrasive ropes can be uncomfortable to grip against resistance.
Lastly, triceps ropes appearance can be intimidating to neophytes.
And sweat soaked, multiuser triceps ropes are virtually impossible to disinfect making them a potential risk to all users in this age of drug resistant bacteria and viruses.
A drawback of the triceps straps is that they provide severely lessened wrist conditioning benefits as there is little need to grip the device during exercise.
Additionally, the same multiuser contamination issues common to triceps ropes apply to the straps as well.
Chrome steel handles in their various configurations (see FIGS. 3-5), though simple to attach and use, are often cold to the touch, and slippery to grip during exercise induced sweating.
Further, these handles are heavy, clunky and provide limited skeletal joint mobility due to direct attachment to cable machine snap hooks.

A triceps cable extension for attachment to a cable resistance exercise machine is provided. The cable extension includes a gripping handle including a hand protection projection which extends at an angle B upwardly from a thumb groove provided in the handle. An open semi-circular cross-sectional channel is provided in the protection projection to receive a cover cable. A vertical bore extends from a handle base flange portion through a body portion and extending into the protection channel. The extension also includes a length of cable, a cable securing nut, a connection loop so as to allow a snap on connection to a cable resistance exercise machine and also includes a latex tubing cable cover to protect the user from injury from an exposed wire cable. The protection projection and the projection channel to protect the user's hand and reduces torque on the handle in use.
Description
[0001]This application claims priority from the disclosure made in Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 997,807 filed Jun. 11, 2014.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a triceps cable extension device. More specifically it relates to a unique grip handle which effectively and comfortably replaces and improves the griping interface between a user and a resistance exercise machine.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Various gripping devices for performance of triceps extension arm strengthening exercises are known in the art. These devices include various rope (FIGS. 1 and 2), nylon strap (FIG. 3), and steel configurations (FIGS. 4-6) and are utilized by first attaching the devices by means of cable snap hooks to cable resistance exercise machines. Users next grip the attached devices and with arm(s) fully bent at elbow, straighten arm(s) against machines resistance to solicit strengthening benefits for the rear upper arm...
